In Baltimore, staying alive isn't the same as being okay.
Where We Stay follows a group of teenagers bound together by proximity, history, and secrets they don't know how to say out loud. Between house parties, private school pressure, fractured families, and relationships that blur the line between love and survival, each of them is just trying to make it through the year without falling apart.
Destiny is magnetic, loud, and loved by everyone-but lonely when the music cuts off. Deon is a star athlete hiding behind silence. Taylor is the golden boy with a reputation he didn't ask for, learning too late that charm can't protect you from consequences. Zuri is perfection with a breaking point. Sadie holds everyone together while slowly unraveling. And Paul watches it all from the sidelines, already learning what it means to be forgotten.
As the city moves around them, choices are made that can't be undone-and childhood slips away quietly, without asking permission.
Where We Stay is a raw, emotional portrait of youth, trauma, and the dangerous comfort of familiarity-where staying feels easier than facing what comes next.
